@Delaware Valley Tackle might be able to help. I retired mine ?

@Munkin When I started bass fishing spinnerbaits were my first love. CATT orginally stood for Cajun Anglers Tournament Tackle, I built spinnerbaits & crankbaits for a few tournament anglers. With spinnerbaits I bent my own wires, built my own shirts, poured my own lead, & used round bend hooks. I played around with wire diameters, short arms, long arms, double arms, R-Bend, & twisted eye. I stopped making spinnerbaits when I meet Lonnie Stanley. We ain't even mentioned Ribbits or double take frog hooks. John Hale worked for Lonnie Stanley & was the inventor of the Hale Craw Worm. The Hale brothers now own Stanley Jigs. Mark Stevenson caught Ethel of Bass Pro Shop fame (ShareLunker 001) on a Stanley jig with a Hale Craw worm. There's a 10 fish stringer that's right at 100# caught by John at the Sportsman Cafe on Toledo Bend.

Lonnie was the first to use skirt collars, multi colored shirts, silicone skirts, glitter in shirts, tapered shafts, tapered blades, & struck a deal with Mustad to create the first needle point hook. Was instrumental in bringing tungsten weights to the forefront.

I fish a lot of deep offshore structure, my weapons of choice. Texas Rig Jig-n-Craw Spinnerbait

As much as I love Stanley I would never over look a Hildebrand bladed spinnerbait. Booyah Covert is a prime example. Talk about getting stuck in a rut, how many of y'all throw a spinnerbait in 15-25' of water, slow rolling it on the bottom?

Stanley's Wedge Blades give off more flash & vibration than any blade made. The front of the blade has a thickness of .015 & increases to .030 to the back of the blade. Patented Tapered Wire, the Vibra-Shaft is unmatched in water displacement. Moving more water with less effort makes a great spinnerbait. Tapered wire transfers all the vibration to the tip of the wire, where the blades are. Stanley spinnerbaits & jigs were first to use silicone shirt & multi colored shirts. Lonnie Stanley worked with Mustad to come up with a true needle point hook.

My favorite ? Double gold willowleaf or silver Colorado in front of a gold willowleaf

As much as I love throwing spinnerbaits some days they just don't want it. Y'all covered grass but for me it's spinnerbaits & wood/brush. I'll pitch a spinnerbait like y'all would a jig. May only get 3-5 turns of the handle. Sometimes it's helicopter it down on the side of wood/brush. I throw Stanley but Booyah's Covert is catching on. But a Hildebrand blade to a nobrainer!

As fisherman, you ever feel like a blind squirrel that finds a nut? Some days that's all I got!

Leader! I don't need no stinking leader!

@papajoe222 What he said Powell Inferno 703C Medium Heavy X-Fast Weightless up to 3/8 oz maybe a 1/2 oz. Zoom's Ultravibe Speed Craw to Mr Twister Mag 12 Buzz Worm.

I know you asked about Lew's & not the Tatula. I have a Diawia Tatula TTU711MHXB, 7'1" Medium Heavy X-Fast. This is my choice in a jig rod. I also have a Tatula TTU731MHFB, 7'3" Medium Heavy Fast. I just have fun with this rod throwing everything from frogs to light punching.

I have a TP1B74H 7'4" Heavy Fast, I use it for punching & frogging. I have 2 TP1B70MH 7' Medium Heavy Fast. My grandson uses one for Worms & my youngest son uses the other for jigs.

We get those afternoon thunder boomers, ya don't want to get caught in one. I usually launch after it's blown through. After a hot, humid, still day it will fire em up.

Lunker Lure Flat Shad 1/4 oz, post spawn at first light & dark thirty.

1/4-3/8-1/2 ?

Yes sir I'm more concerned with the reel seat & the nut that locks it down.

@Takemetothebank With minor adjustments to suit my bodies of water your original post is spot on!
